Polymer bonded magnets are widely being used in many automotive and non-automotive industries. Because of their many advantages such as low weight, resistance to corrosion and ease of machining the demand for bonded magnets is rising sharply.... But, the presently available bonded magnets are limited in their applications at high temperatures due to the low energy product and poor heat resistance properties. Therefore, a need exists to develop bonded magnets with higher energy product that can withstand operating temperatures of at least 180°C and higher. A key issue is the identification of suitable magnetic powders and polymer matrices, which can perform satisfactorily at the desired temperatures. 3, record 3, English, - polybonded%20magnet

Développement de poudres coercitives et anisotropes de type Nd2Fe14B par combinaison d'un procédé de déformation thermomécanique et d'un procédé de décrépitation à l'hydrogène. [...] Actuellement, l'avenir se situe du côté des aimants liés à matrice polymère, qui présentent de nombreux avantages par rapport aux aimants frittés : facilité de mise en forme, résistance mécanique et à la corrosion accrues. L'étude est donc consacrée au forgeage à chaud, à grande vitesse, d'alliages Nd-Fe-B. Par cette technique, un aimant massif Nd-Fe-B est développé à partir d'un matériau brut ne présentant aucune propriété d'aimant initiale. Ces aimants sont utilisés ensuite comme précurseurs de poudres pour aimants liés anisotropes, obtenues par décrépitation à l'hydrogène (brevet laboratoire de Cristallographie, 1990). 1, record 3, French, - aimant%20li%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20matrice%20polym%C3%A8re

Le matériau de base est une poudre coercitive mélangée avec un polymère. Les aimants sont obtenus par injection, extrusion ou compression. L'avantage essentiel est la possibilité d'obtenir directement des aimants de formes complexes, inaccessibles par frittage ou coulée. Les aimants ferrites liés, utilisés à l'origine comme joints de portes, trouvent aujourd'hui application dans des moteurs, en raison de l'amélioration de leurs propriétés et de la miniaturisation des autres composants constitutifs. Ils sont aussi utilisés pour l'électronique grand public (haut parleurs de walkmans et de téléphones cellulaires). 2, record 3, French, - aimant%20li%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20matrice%20polym%C3%A8re

The key feature of the tokamak is its central, hollow, donut shaped chamber. Huge electric currents pass through the coils surrounding the chamber and through the plasma inside it creating a powerful magnetic field that holds the plasma in place. The runaway neutrons have no charge and therefore not influenced by the strong magnetic field. Neutrons fly in straight paths and smash into the atoms of the reactor walls. During such collisions the considerable kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy which is used to heat steam to drive electrical generators. 1, record 4, English, - runaway%20neutron

Une des activités du Laboratoire Louis Néel consiste à étudier des nouveaux matériaux pour la fabrication d'aimants permanents à haute performance. La caractéristique la plus recherchée pour des applications spécifiques (aimants liés) est une forte rémanence. Une des voies de recherche actuelles s'oriente vers l'étude de matériaux nanostructurés composites. Dans ces systèmes deux phases cristallines coexistent : une phase à magnétisme dur (TR2Fe14B avec TR=Nd, Pr) et une phase douce à forte aimantation (a-Fe ou Fe3B). Le couplage entre les cristallites nanométriques induit un comportement homogène de l'aimantation macroscopique. 1, record 6, French, - aimant%20li%C3%A9
